Amnesty International calls for justice after Japheth Njoku, 32, dies while in police custody at Tiger Base in Owerri, Imo State. Amnesty says a coroner’s findings identify two police officers as culpable and urges that they be prosecuted. Multiple outlets report Amnesty’s demand for accountability following recommendations linked to the case.

Outlets describe Amnesty directing its appeal to both the Imo State Government and police authorities, including implementing the coroner’s recommendations. Vanguard and Daily Post say Amnesty’s position is issued through statements posted online, referencing the delivery of findings by Chief Magistrate E. U. and dated actions around October 10, 2026, and September 30, 2026. The Punch focuses specifically on the call for the officers’ prosecution based on the coroner’s determination.
